Umoona Art Centre is an Indigenous-owned and governed organisation, located in Umoona community, Coober Pedy, in the north of South Australia. Established in 2020, Umoona Arts joins neighbouring art centres on the APY Lands with the central aim of building capacity for sustainable employment pathways through the art centre. Since its formation, artists have worked tirelessly and with a collective passion and focus to make their dream of owning and operating a permanent art centre a reality.

Over 30 artists, aged from 16-70 work at Umoona Arts. Umoona artists embrace a variety of mediums, including acrylic paint on linen, punu and carving (traditional woodwork), tjanpi (fibre weaving) and ceramics, with works demonstrating a diversity of styles alongside a vibrant use of colour and energetic mark making.
